This is a log from netbattle, and I feel this is a truly memorable log by Starling (BTW it isnt mine) :

Alright, I'm semi-new to online battling. I've been focusing on perfecting an all-fire-types team, because without some gimmick like that I wouldn't find competitive battling very interesting, personally. That explains the fire types you'll see in the log. But the point is I had a battle that was the most maddening and annoying thing ever. I fought a team where everyone had baton pass, and the core was this Umbreon with mean look, baton pass, wish, and moonlight, who WOULD NOT DIE, and couldn't kill me! He just sat there healing for hours!

Anyway, I thought this guy had a pretty interesting strategy, I watched it mow down a lot of people, who also wished they had OHKO moves at some point I'm sure, and I was pulling my hair wishing I had brought one along. I managed a miracle victory with a critical hit at the perfect time. But in case anyone wants to share in my frustration, I will post the log now.

Begin Turn #1
Tiger Uppercut! used Extremespeed!
(245 damage)
A critical hit! I was expecting him to sub, then I'd roar next turn. But this was an added bonus. I was really liking my odds at this point.

---------------------------------
Ninjask used Substitute!
It was too weak to make a Substitute!
---------------------------------
Ninjask's Speed Boost raised its Speed!
Ninjask's Leftovers restored its HP a little!
End of turn #1

Tauros usually has quake, which is one of the three deadly dangers to my team (rock slide and swift swimmers being the other two). Fortunately, I evolved measures for them. I gamble that this isn't a choice bander

With my Houndoom stuck on endless crunches thanks to choice band, he no doubt intends to mean look.

Begin Turn #10
Starling (All Fire) withdrew Dry Bones!
Starling (All Fire) sent out Malchior (Lv.100 Charizard)! Seemed like the best option at the time. Malchior is my physical sweeper, he has brick break, earthquake, rock slide and overheat. I knew Umbreon could likely be a baton passer, so I figure Malchior is the one poke I have who can handle whatever he passes too.

Begin Turn #12
Malchior used Overheat!
(210 damage) NOOO! He has 16 hp left for all you counting at home

Malchior's Special Attack sharply fell! And my overheat is now useless.

---------------------------------
Umbreon used Moonlight!
Umbreon regained health!
---------------------------------
Umbreon's Wish came true!
Umbreon regained health! And he is now back at full health. No regrets about choosing Charizard though. If he hadn't wasted my white herb on Arcanine, I could have switched to that and used two overheats that WOULD have KO'd him. But he DID waste my white herb, so that wasn't an option. The same if he hadn't choice-banded my Houndoom. Grrr... Well, time to Brick Break him and see how it goes.

Oh super. Now it's the same situation, except Ninjask passed his speed boost on, so Umbreon is faster, and can moonlight if I critical and get him near death. Now he is bonafided impossible for me to kill. And now I'm really wishin I had a OHKO move somewhere on my team. Even if I do manage to kill whatever he passes too, It becomes clear to me that I cannot beat an umbreon with TWO healing moves.

Begin Turn #39
Umbreon used Baton Pass!
BH sent out Smeargle (Lv.100 Smeargle)! This Smeargle, for those of you keeping count, has hyper mega speed, and two layers of barrier passed to it. I don't know what this creature had for moves, but I'm sure it's not good. I figure this is the end for me.

And miracle of miracles, right when I needed it! The mean look, and stat-ups are all broken. He'll have to go through the whole setup process again if he wants to get anywhere. But this time I can have Arcanine take the mean look, and roar it all away. Mr. Mime can't be roared, but he's almost dead, and arcanine has extreme speed. Yes, it looks like the magical critical hit that ended the battle put it in the bag for me. An echo of the critical that started the battle off.

In all fairness though, since it was two strokes of bad luck that led my overheats to not kill umbreon AND not kill mr. mime, perhaps this was karma. Regardless, I was a happy panda.

At this point he just forfeited. Either way though, I thought it was an interesting match, and a freakish and awesome turn at the end, right before I would undoubtedly become toast.

This guy was so lucky at the end. BTW, the red bits are what he was thinking.

Yes but it envolves RSEFRLG movesets and Pokemon and we don't really have a "Net Battle" Forum, I moved it to FRLG Discussion (Now called Kanto Revisited) since those games are newer and some pokemon learn different moves in it.

Now to get back on topic: Wow, that was some battle! I almost thought it would never end myself when I read this . But that's a very interesting moveset for that , but what a battle; it's a shame that he forfieted though. Peace Out!

I goes to show that you can't rely on one Pokemon like many of my friends. That's my key to victory, generally they'll only have a max of 4 Pokes that are half decent. the rest are rubbish. When you rely on that one, and it dies, it's more likely for the person to quit.
